Manufacturing families face harsh reality in Virginia

The idea that the next generation will be better off than the one before has always been a powerful part of the American Dream.

This week we’re going to hear from three families with very different backgrounds and experiences. How have their expectations changed and do they still think their kids will be better off than them? We start with a conversation between Scott Wilson and his son who live in Galax, in southern Virginia.
